Who is this course for?

The IKO Powerkite Level 2 course is an entry point for people looking to get involved in the world of kitesports and is ideal for people looking for best performance and maximum control of the powerkite.  Flying powerkites on handles gives independant control of all four lines, which makes it the most versatile and efficient control system.

What the course covers:

  • Basic wind & weather theory 
  • Choosing an appropriate location and suitable conditions
  • Kite set up and handling
  • Safety systems and their use
  • launching, landing and flying skills
  • Using handle control systems
